Psychotherapy for change.

Psychotherapy Services- In person and Online

I have worked as a therapist since 2002, and provide a warm, non-judgmental space where we can explore areas of your life, thoughts and emotions, you are struggling with.  I focus on creating a supportive, collaborative trusting relationship, with individualised therapy goals and coping strategies where we can confidentially work through these issues , which will lead to positive change.

  • problems with relating and conflict
  • trauma and abuse

  • EMDR helps process traumatic events anxiety and PTSD, Attchment,and broader issues. Leading to reducing overwhelm and triggers. 
  • DBT / educational with skills for managing emotions and relationships. Psychoeducation on how to manage triggers and communication.
  • Ego state/parts work helps understand parts of us and roles these parts have, including vulnerable parts. Opening up new energy ,new choices and outcomes.
